Hello 1983

Liu Qingshan just smiled slightly at this, then picked up a pen and signed his name on the agreement.

For his free and easy and forthright, all the guests at the scene responded with warm applause.

Based on this alone, Looney and others were thrown out a few streets.

But Looney and the others didn't care. The failure of the last bet made them the target of ridicule by the media. This time, they must save face.

Of course, Looney and the others wouldn't bet against Liu Qingshan in a flash of enthusiasm.

They also conducted careful research, and even invited more than a dozen film critics who had seen the film, as well as professionals from other major film companies, to conduct risk assessments.

After all, the few films that Liu Qingshan's company shot in the past all created miracles at the box office, and Looney and the others didn't know what to do.

The views of the film critics are also very clear: the films produced by Hurricane Films before, whether it is Home Alone or The Matrix, are more popular.

However, for a feature film like Forrest Gump, it is not so easy to get a high box office.

They concluded that the possibility of this Forrest Gump grossing over 40.00 million is 15.00%[-], the possibility of exceeding [-] million is [-]%, and the possibility of exceeding [-] million is only about [-]%. .

I don't know how these people came to this conclusion. In short, Looney and the others are very excited:

If they don't dare to gamble like this, then they really become cowards!

That's why there was this bet. The bet was the same as last time. Looney and the others were determined to get revenge.

The next day, basically all the entertainment newspapers reported this news. Liu Qingshan never came to the United States without setting off a storm.

And Forrest Gump's movie also aroused the interest of many people, some of them also wanted to go into the theater to see what kind of movie it was.

It can be seen that Looney and his team are not idle, at least they have foreseen this part of the box office.

But in the end everything has to speak with quality.

Finally, on the third night, the new film produced by Columbia Pictures was released nationwide.

Looney and others originally didn't want to contribute to the box office, but they were really itchy in their hearts. Thinking about the tens of dollars they had, it wouldn't affect the overall situation, so they also went to a theater together.

They are going to see with their own eyes how bad this movie is.

The audience in the theater was basically full. When it was time to play, the logo of the Columbia Pictures torch goddess appeared first, and the torch in her hand was shining brightly.

After entering the feature film, as a white feather fell from the sky and was collected by A-Gump in his notebook, the story unfolded accordingly.

Basically the same as the original, but with a few minor changes.For example, Ping-Pong diplomacy, there is more of Forrest Gump on the Great Wall.

There is also the stock that Forrest Gump bought, which has also changed from Apple to the stock of Earth Network.

Liu Qingshan would not be so stupid as to advertise for Apple, he would also advertise for his own company.

"Shit, this movie is so bad, how can a mentally handicapped person be qualified to represent us!"

After the movie was shown, Tony Getty finally couldn't help breathing out the fragrance.

Looney and the others also nodded along, yes, that's how they see it in the eyes of the so-called elites.

Suddenly, in the movie theater, almost everyone's eyes were cast on the few of them.

Some people's eyes are still shining with the light of hope, while others are shining with tears.

But when looking at Looney and the others, their eyes all turned into anger.

I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "Get out!"

Then in the theater, a huge storm formed: billowing...

Chapter 982 The best gift!

Looney and his gang fled the theater in embarrassment.

They don't understand: it is obviously a very annoying movie, why do so many people like it?

This is probably the difference in values ​​between the so-called elite and ordinary people.

Forrest Gump is not a representative of the elite, he is a symbol of hundreds of millions of people at the bottom.

At the same time, Liu Qingshan and the others were also watching quietly as spectators in another theater not far away.

The theater was very quiet, and the audience watched it attentively. This is a movie that can go straight to the heart.

Many things in the movie have been experienced by everyone, and they empathize with each other, which is very engaging.

As the audience watched, they couldn't help thinking: If I had been so and so, would I be able to live a better life now?

When the lights in the theater were turned on again, someone who didn't know who took the lead applauded, and then the applause rang out.

"This is bound to be a classic movie!" someone yelled.

Liu Qingshan and others walked out of the theater first, and in the neon lights of the city, Liu Qingshan said to the people around him: "We will definitely succeed."

This time, Chambers and the others nodded vigorously, and the worries and worries in their hearts were completely dissipated in the applause of the audience.

The next day's newspapers were full of news and discussions about Forrest Gump's movie.

There are two mainstream views, and they are diametrically opposed, and a war of words has been fought in the newspapers.

One is demeaning, thinking that Forrest Gump cannot represent the image of the American elite at all.

The other kind is praising, thinking that this movie has shocked their hearts and is worth watching.

As a result of this debate, more and more people went to the theater.

However, the debate only lasted for three days before it was declared over, and the party that bad-mouthed the movie was already defeated.

More and more people have begun to express their praise for this movie. Whether it is the shooting, the plot, or the emotions and thoughts shown in the movie, they all fit the values ​​of the current people very well, so its success is already unstoppable.

In less than a week, the box office has exceeded [-] million, and this momentum shows no sign of weakening.

For a feature film to achieve such an achievement, it undoubtedly means that it is destined to become a classic.

In the newspapers, there were more and more discussions about the plot of the film, and Columbia released another news in a timely manner.

Or an easter egg: Mr. Mountain, the planner of this film, also participated in this film.

And a reward of [-] U.S. dollars was offered to the first viewer who found it.

The audience became interested now, and those who had watched the movie recalled it in their minds, as if they hadn't seen Mountain.

Someone didn't believe in evil, and went to the theater to watch it again, but still couldn't find it.

Considering that Mr. Mountain is from China, it is most likely that Forrest Gump was in China. In the end, a female audience finally locked in the target: the old man with the white beard who practiced Tai Chi.

This lucky female audience received a reward of [-] US dollars from Columbia Corporation.

When a reporter interviewed her, the female audience also said excitedly: "I recognize Mr. Mountain's eyes, they are so different, because those eyes fascinate me, I love you, Mountain!"

There is no way, female movie fans are so enthusiastic and straightforward.

In an open country like the United States, no one would laugh at this female movie fan. In fact, in a survey conducted by boring people, Mr. Mountain's proportion of your most desired partner is very high.

This is completely understandable: young and handsome, multi-talented, and most importantly, a billionaire, becoming the dream lover of young women is naturally a matter of course.

And those ordinary movie fans pay more attention to Liu Qingshan's performance in the movie.

Although he only played for more than a minute before and after, Liu Qingshan was on top of the Great Wall.Bathed in the morning light, dancing with hands, as if the whole world is spinning.

When all the audience saw this, they felt a very mysterious feeling in their hearts.

But if they want to express it in words, it is indescribable.

It can only be said that the shots in this section are really well shot, and it is definitely the most impressive part in the whole movie.

For this reason, movie fans appealed: This year's Oscar should be awarded to Mr. Mountain as a statuette for Best Supporting Actor.

This is a bit too much, but it's good for the fans to be happy.

This female movie fan was lucky to get a prize of [-] US dollars, and another lucky viewer also got the same reward.

Although he didn't find the right character played by Mr. Mountain, he found the song sung by Liu Qingshan.

It was the background music played when Little Forrest Gump threw off his walker and started running for the first time in his life.

After the movie was played, this piece of music also became popular. The reason is very simple, the music is so hot that it makes people want to run.

Of course, if there are wings, there must be a feeling of wanting to fly.

Accompanied by the scene in the movie of Little Forrest Gump getting rid of the restraints and starting to run freely, an extremely passionate singing sounded:

"Run forward, meet cold eyes and ridicule"

"How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships"

"Fate cannot make us kneel and beg for mercy"

"Even if the blood is all over the arms"

The singing was sung in a voice that was almost roaring, as if the timidity in people's hearts was torn apart at once, leaving only the courage to run forward.

This is an empowering song that will set your blood on fire in an instant.

"Keep running with childish pride"

"How can you see the brilliance of life if you don't stick to it"

"It's better to burn than linger on"

"For the good in my heart"

"Uncompromising until you grow old..."

Hearing this, everyone felt like their scalp was tingling and their hair was about to stand on end.

When they walked out of the movie theater, some audience members wanted to sing a few lines to vent their anger, and then they realized that the song was too high, and they couldn't sing it at all.

But this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm, and the roar is over.

So the streets and alleys were full of ghosts crying and wolves howling, all of which were the English version of "Dream Chaser".

The police who are on the night watch are all on alert.

Then someone began to research: who sang this song, the tone is too high, it has exceeded people's cognition.

If you wait a few more years, you will definitely suspect that it was synthesized by a computer, but now, the technology has not reached this level.

A male movie fan had an idea and decided that the song was composed and sung by Mr. Mountain.

The result was affirmed by Columbia Pictures and awarded [-] US dollars.

Along with the popularity of Forrest Gump's movie, the English version of Dream Chasing Chizixin also became popular.

Even many well-known singers have tried to interpret this song.

But without exception, all of them failed, and they could only lower one or a few tones.

The only version that is closer to the original version is the version of the dolphin girl Maria, which can compete with Liu Qingshan's singing.

Anyway, he is also a member of his own company, so Liu Qingshan simply authorized this song to Maria.

To say that Maria is really powerful, after the past few years, she has secured her position as the Queen of Heaven.

In short, the Forrest Gump movie has become the hottest topic at the moment.

In the midst of joy, Looney and the others regretted it.

This bet, they must lose, now it is only a matter of time.

Looney's guts are green: Why did they go to bet with that damned guy again on the spur of the moment?

And the critics and professionals who mislead them, can't even tell if a movie is good or bad, it's all shit!

Even if Looney and the others want to make some small moves, it doesn't make any sense. The general trend, they have no choice but to admit defeat.

Presumably at that time, they will definitely become the target of media ridicule again. Thinking of this, Looney and others have the urge to hit their heads against the wall.

Before them, Li Dashao and the others on Hong Kong Island had experienced this feeling many times.

Because of the success of Forrest Gump's movie, Columbia Pictures also swept away the previous haze.

Within a year, after changing two owners one after another, the company's situation is a bit worrying.

This can be seen from the mental state of the employees. People are unstable and work is lax.

And the few movies produced by the company are also popular.

To describe it in one sentence, it is: the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

Although Chambers made some rectifications after he became the new president, the effect was not good.
